What do you think?

[Lanelle]

Looks good except that the tread looks a tad thin on the front wheel.:rolleyes:

[Stonehenge]

Yeah, I'm thinking of picking up some retreads... ;)

[scl]

Everythings going retro!

[Lawngodfather]

Don't need any retreads for that.......lol


Looks just fine to me

When will you be getting your mule for some added horsepower.

BTW, welcome aboard. :welcome:

That is gorgeous and is going to look great in your yard. I love a good interest piece in the landscape. Please don't put it next to any geometric patterned pavers. :)

Jeff:

Are you going to put one of those plywood ladies bending over so you can see her poka dotted underwear in the yard next to it?

LOL

Wow - I'm not sure how this thread got life breathed back into it - this was just a pic I took when I was in Charleston, SC visiting a plantation. I just introduced it as my new seed/fert spreader to be funny. :D

The funny thing is Stone, that implement still looks servicable after eons of use. How many of our brand new shiny tools will be in similar workable condition fifty years from now?

When I was employed on a produce farm we had an implement called a "wheel hoe", that we used to cultivate between in-row crops like cabbage seedlings and recently emerged squash. It was essentially a wheel attached to two handles with cultivator tines on either side. It was ancient, according to the owner, dating to the early fifties, but worked great and still going strong when I moved on.

I would love to own one for my own vegetable garden, and other hand-tools that are durable to a fault, unlike all the shovels and bamboo rakes I burn through now.

Here's to durable goods!!!

I have wood handle pick axes and other items that my Grandfather used when he did brick and mason work in New York City back in the 20's and 30's.........I still use them around the house only................Never letting my men get their hands on them.

Many moons ago I was doing work for another company, and the client had a shovel with an all-wood 'D' handle. Told us to use it....It had to be ancient...I had it broken in about 5 minutes. Felt terrible about it.
